Want to work at a theme park? This might be your moment!
Universal’s newest theme park isn’t just being built — it’s starting to come to life. And now, they’re looking for the people who will help bring it all together.
Universal Kids Resort is officially holding auditions for character performers, marking another major milestone as the park gears up for its anticipated 2026 opening.
This isn’t just behind-the-scenes hiring; this is about the faces (and personalities) guests will interact with every single day.
What They’re Looking For
The casting call is focused on performers who can bring beloved characters to life through movement, expression, and energy.
While specific roles haven’t all been publicly detailed, Universal Kids Resort is expected to feature characters from popular franchises like:
- Shrek
- SpongeBob SquarePants
- Minions
- Trolls
Which means performers could be stepping into some very recognizable roles.
Character performers are a huge part of the theme park experience — especially at a park designed specifically for younger guests.
At Universal Kids Resort, these interactions are expected to be front and center, helping create those core memories for families visiting the park.
And with auditions now underway, it’s a clear sign that the park is moving beyond construction and into operational preparation.
A Sign That Opening Day Is Getting Closer
We’ve already seen major construction milestones, like entrance signage and themed structures going up, but hiring performers? That’s a whole different phase.
It means Universal is starting to think about day-one guest experience. And that usually means the countdown is officially on. Because every ride, every land, and every moment… needs people to bring it to life.
